About this listen

A loathe-to-love, road trip romance performed in duet.

Cecily Hampton's first date with Dominic Bellinger started out like a dream. The conversation? Flowing. The chemistry? Sizzling. But when Cecily overhears a phone call Dom steps away to take, she grabs her purse and makes a run for it. She knows a red flag when she sees one.

Unfortunately, avoiding Dom becomes impossible when they're both summoned to Las Vegas to celebrate their mutual friends. Armed with a vow to hate Dom forever, Cecily lands in Sin City ready to unleash her dirtiest looks on him. Except, Dom's salty attitude is making it clear Cecily isn't the only one with hard feelings.

When shooting daggers turns into shooting tequila, Dom and Cecily wake up to find themselves with a nasty hangover and new titles: Mr. & Mrs.

A rush to undo the drunken mistake is halted when Cecily's grandmother calls to announce she's dying, and her final wish is to road trip around Arizona with her family. Including her granddaughter's new husband.

Cecily can't decide which is worse - being stuck in a luxury motor coach with Dom, or her estranged family.

But somewhere between a stay at a haunted hotel and unwittingly attending a nudist colony, their thinly veiled insults and barbed remarks give way to the attraction from their first date. They tell themselves it's just this once...twice...ok, three times.

Scratching an itch starts looking a lot like newlywed bliss. And their temporary marriage? It just might turn into forever.

Jennifer Millikin pens another wonderful novel set in her fabulous “Serendipity & Shenanigans” series, and I loved it as much as I loved the first book, “Here for the Cake”. This second book in the series is Cecily Hampton and Dominic Bellinger’s story, a story that stands on its own, and is an enemies-to-lovers or as Millikin puts it, which you have to love, is a loathe-to-love, romantic comedy. Cecily and Dominic have mutual friends in common, and the two go out on a date that was going amazingly well, at least Cecily thought it was, but after overhearing him on the phone, she learned otherwise and bailed. Dominic never knew why she ghosted him, and she went as far as blocking him from calling too. With having friends in common, they knew there was always a chance of running into each other again, and that time comes when their friends invite them to Las Vegas for a celebration. Dominic’s trip did not go smoothly, and he wasn’t in the best of moods, and seeing and having to sit next to Cecily did not help matters. Cecily had every intention of giving him a hard time, but she could see he already was having one, and the night that started with shots ended in wedding nuptials, not their friends’, but their own. There is an annulment in their immediate future, but that gets put on hold when her beloved Grandma shares news and has the family go on a road-trip to bring them all together and work out their differences. Cecily has a strained relationship with her parents, but always got along with her grandmother and would do anything she asks of her. Dom is a sweetheart and goes along with the marriage because she wants to appease her grandmother. Unlike her, he has a good relationship with his family, but his family has its share of drama too. The road-trip was an eye-opener for the Hampton family, and for Cecily and Dom, too, and they finally cleared the air and talked about their first date, why she left and ghosted him. This RomCom is full of heart, humor and witty dialogue, a multi-layered story that captivates your attention the entire time. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Jennifer Millikin, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Wesley Mercer and Marissa Clay were fantastic with voicing the characters, and I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Both embodied their characters completely, with Mercer nailing it as Dominic, and Clay as Cecily, and they were great with handling the back-and-forth banter too. Their expressive performance conveyed all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. They are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance keeps you glued to the story.

Wonderful Story & Listen🎧Lots of Humor & Heart!

I had the best time listening to this book and the narrators, and this story only proved that I really need to pick up more books written by this author, because honestly, she hasn't missed one time and I loved everything I read by her so far. Hard Feelings immediately captured my attention, first with the cover, then the tropes and blurb and then I just knew I had to read it. Starting it, I fell hard and fast, both for the storyline, but especially for these characters. They really stole a special place in my heart and I loved the book even more because of their banter and also, their imperfections. This was a great book and I definitely recommend this to anyone!
